“We deserve to have intense diplomatic conversations with fitness, logistical and other experts about how, in spite of everything, we will get a safe and effective vaccine, if not more than one, and then manage its distribution so that we can check if the global in combination around the defeat of the pandemic, does not allow the nationalism of the vaccine that is taking position right now” Clinton said.

Alleged Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has already said he would ask the United States to join WHO on the first day of his presidency if he defeated Trump in November.
Earlier this month, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he hoped the United States would reconsider its resolve to leave the United Nations Health Organization, adding that coronavirus simply cannot be defeated “in a divided world.”
“The challenge has nothing to do with money.Funding is not the challenge. It’s U.S. dating that’s vital and their leadership abroad,” Ghebreyesus told a virtual audience at the Aspen Security Forum.

A month later, he announced his goal of leaving the organization amid the coronavirus pandemic, and mentioned what he called the embezzlement of WHO funds and their relationship with China.
“China has overall control over the World Health Organization, it will pay only $40 million a year compared to what the United States has paid, or about $450 million a year,” Trump said in his statements at the Rose Garden.
We have detailed the reforms that will have to be adopted and have direct interaction with them, but they have refused to act, because they have not succeeded in making the necessary and much-needed reforms, we will now end our meeting with the World Health Organization.and redirect those budgets to other global, urgent and deserving public aptitude needs,” he added at the time.
Following Trump’s comments on rose grass in May, the State Department began redirecting the World Health Organization’s budget to other global fitness organizations.
“The president has made it clear that WHO will have to act together.It begins by demonstrating significant progress and its ability to prevent, trip and respond to infectious disease outbreaks with transparency and accounting prowess,” a State Department spokesman wrote in an email.CNBC in July.
“The United States will continue its efforts to reform WHO and other foreign organizations to function transparently, meet their mandates, and hold governments accountable for their commitments under foreign law.”

“I would like to see a smarter and considerate cooperative effort of the behavior we’re seeing lately by the Trump administration, because that’s what’s needed.”
